Abstract

Fourteen-years-old girl was brought to emergency room by 112 with vomiting, hypotension, and convulsive seizures. According to the story of the patient’s relatives, 2 hours ago whole family ate pancakes at the same time and 6 other family members were taken to different emergency services with the similar findings. The patient’s general condition was severe so she was monitored. Necessary blood samples were collected due to similar finding in other relatives; and sent to Ankara Refik Saydam Institute for toxicology scanning. According to results of blood tests ; poisoning by endosulfan was understood. Endosulfan poisoning is rarely encountered in the literature and in patients presenting to the emergency service with convulsive seizures should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Özet

On dört yaşındaki kız hasta bilinci kapalı olarak kusma, hipotansiyon ve konvülsif nöbet geçirmesi üzerine 112 tarafından acil servisimize getirildi. Hastanın yakınlarından alınan öyküsünden 2 saat önce akrabalarının evinde annesi ile birlikte boş gözleme yedikleri ve aynı saatlerde akrabaları olan 6 kişinin de farklı acil servislere benzer bulgular ile götürüldükleri bilgisine ulaşıldı. Hastanın genel durumunun kötü olması nedeniyle monitörize edildi ve yakınlarında da benzer bulgular olması nedeniyle besin intoksikasyonu düşünülerek gerekli kan örnekleri alındı; Ankara Refik Saydam Hıfzıssıhha Enstitüsüne toksikolojik tarama için gönderildi. Sonuçlanan kan tetkiklerine göre endosülfanın zehirlenmeye yol açtığı anlaşıldı. Endosülfan zehirlenmesine literatürde az rastlanılmasından ve konvülsif nöbetle acil servise başvuran hastalarda ayırıcı tanıda düşünülmesi gerektiğini vurgulamak açısından olgunun sunulmasına karar verildi.
